In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, רעי appears 681,290 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 680,876, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which רעי appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 20:13, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), רעי is found 10,748,213 times; chance alone would give about 10,553,287.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 680,876 of it, so a large count is expected.
